From Gary, VA
I am a 5' 10" bodybuilder who weighs 231 lbs. What type of pictures do you suggest I take for my portfolio?
Dear Gary:
Learning how to create great photos is so important that I spend 26 pages in my book, How to Become a Successful Commercial Model, teaching people how to put together great head shots and photos for their composite sheet.
Make sure you have one or two shots that show off your body, but not any more than that for your card. You don’t want to only get typecast as only being a bodybuilder. Perhaps you could also be the dad, doctor, teacher, banker, insurance salesperson, etc. Look in magazines for ads that you could believably see yourself being cast in and copy those concepts.
Stumble It!
